Benefits

Standards based high performance wireless connectivity In the high pressure always Internet connected environment of today, people travel more and more and need to stay connected to family, friends and their offices with a multitude of different wireless mobile devices such as laptops, netbooks, smart phones and game consoles. This change in attitude has driven the need for more bandwidth and higher density in Internet wireless solutions offered by hospitality businesses and WiFi service providers for public use. The ZyXEL N4100 Wireless LAN Hotspot Gateway has been optimised to deliver flexible connectivity for WiFi devices through standards based 11n wireless radio frequency technology. The new 11n WiFi standard offers a peak rate data throughput of up to 300 Mbps, providing approximately five times the bandwidth compared to standard 11b/g WiFi devices. The N4100 also offers 2 Transmit & 3 Receive MIMO antenna technology and further 11n features to provide more flexible and better coverage within the business location. With these advantages, the ZyXEL N4100 Hotspot Gateway offers many benefits to users wishing to deploy and use Internet services.   Simple operation for delivering Internet access To enable easy configuration and usage the N4100 can be used with the optional SP300E ticket printer. With this combination, business owners can easily enable their staff to operate the gateway solution to give end users the information they need to access the Internet. This is achieved simply by pushing a button on the SP300E which then automatically prints the Internet access information. This removes the need in smaller deployments for a dedicated PC to manage the authentication and billing within the business. In larger business environments the N4100 can support up to ten SP300E printers installed in different locations around the premises. This provides an ideal solution which can scale as the business expands and where greater Internet coverage is required.   Plug-and-play connectivity Users who want to access a business hotspot are usually faced with various technical issues to establish connectivity and need information such as IP configurations, static IP, DHCP clients, etc. The N4100 is equipped with IP Plug and Play technology so that users do not need to change their existing IP and other network configurations to connect to the Internet. The access is fast, easy and trouble free thus increasing usage and encouraging more users to use the service. This offers the hospitality business more opportunity to attract and retain customers while delivering new revenue opportunity. In addition, the N4100 can be configured to interact within an existing network and can be installed in different modes such as a gateway, DNS, proxy as well as dynamic and static IP address assignments. This eliminates the need and associated costs of hiring dedicated IT staff.   Strict security and regulatory compliance The "EU Data Retention Directive", which is Directive 2006/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 March 2006, stipulates the retention of data generated or processed in connection with the provision of publicly available electronic communications services or of public communications networks and amends Directive 2002/58/EC. It requires business owners of places where Internet services are provided to keep several elements of the user data for a certain period of time. ZyXEL is aware of the difficulties of business owners to deploy a service and meet the requirements. The N4100 is a core part of the solution when installed along with a ZyXEL network attached storage device and ZyWALL USG to enable businesses to meet the expectations of the directive. This is achieved by ensuring that session traces are logged and user activities are kept for government audit if required. The N4100 is the best choice for business owners who intend to provide public Internet access. * The implementation of the directive varies dependant on the local definition by the EU member country.   Secure Internet gateway with scalable simultaneous wireless connections The N4100 range can be installed either as a standalone device connected directly to a broadband router as an all in one Internet wireless Internet hotspot solution or as part of a larger network. This flexibility provides the business with a fully authenticating, authorizing and administration device to allow the control of Internet Wireless users. This functionality enables the business to define the policy as to how users can be offered either secure free Internet access or can deploy a simple charging methodology. The introduction of the N4100 extends the wireless technology to B/G/N for better coverage capability, while supporting 100 simultaneous users as standard and 200 users by using the optional license.

Benefits

 

Plug-and-play Connectivity - The VSG-1200 V2 is an access server that recognizes new users on a network and re-routes all the different IP settings pre-configured on users' computers. By re-routing settings such as DHCP, DNS, and Proxy, in addition to a static or private IP, subscribers are able to gain access to the Internet without changing any settings. The VSG-1200 V2 also provides SMTP server re-direction, which helps users to send e-mail via the local SMTP server instead of the predetermined default server.

Secure Protection for Customer Login, Remote Access and Administration - In today's business environment, companies increasingly support VPN (Virtual Private Network) to facilitate secure remote access to local networks. The VSG-1200 V2 allows VPN ( PPTP, IPsec and L2TP) traffic pass through, allowing telecommuters and other personnel to safely access important or confidential information while traveling. The VSG-1200 V2 allows secure passing of authentication information through SSL encryption for both web-based administration and user login.

Flexible Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) - The VSG-1200 V2 supports both RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) and proprietary implementation to authenticate, authorize and record the Internet usage of customers. The RADIUS support gives service providers an easy way to manage and maintain a large group of subscribers over the Internet, while the built-in authentication server allows an administrator to control and authenticate a subscriber's access rights based on a login name and password. Internet usage can be easily charged by pre-defined billing plans (by either minute, hour, day or other options). With the PMS interface, the VSG-1200 V2 can easily provide information on the Internet usage of different customers to the existing property management system in a hotel application.

Global Roaming Support - Internet mobility has been greatly increased by subscription to roaming service offered by AIRPATH, BOINGO, IPASS, GRIC and others. With built-in RADIUS client, the VSG-1200 V2 exchanges AAA information with service providers' server, and thus enables global Internet roaming service

Easy Configuration and Management - System configuration of the VSG-1200 V2 can be saved and exported to a file that can be used for subsequent re-configuration or configuration of another VSG. The VSG-1200 V2 supports port mapping, which allows system administrators to remotely manage and configure devices with private IP address. The Web-based management interface of the VSG-1200 V2 offers an easy-to-use platform, independent management, and configuration options. The VSG-1200 V2 supports SNMP and MIBs, both of which can be managed via standard-based management software.

Additional Revenue Generation - The VSG-1200 V2 offers homepage redirection as well as multiple URL-link redirections for advertising options for service providers, hotels or property owners. The VSG-1200 V2 allows service providers or system administrators to create a "walled garden" where unauthenticated users can be granted free access to selected links.
